    Natural variation in salt-induced changes in root:shoot ratio reveals SR3G as a negative regulator of root suberization and salt resilience in Arabidopsis

    Maryam Rahmati Ishka, Hayley Sussman ... Magdalena M Julkowska
    Salt stress disrupts root-shoot growth coordination through SR3G, a negative regulator of salt tolerance, that affects shoot growth, root suberization, and sodium accumulation, revealing new targets for environmental resilience.

    Autophagosome development and chloroplast segmentation occur synchronously for piecemeal degradation of chloroplasts

    Masanori Izumi, Sakuya Nakamura ... Shinya Hagihara
    A plant autophagy pathway transports chloroplast stroma and envelope components into the vacuole through the division and encapsulation of the site of chloroplasts that is associated with developing autophagosome.
